did ya really think people would floc to this propaganda spewing censorship add-on?

if you want to see the domains this BS company identifies as BS, look at github.com/bs-detector/bs-detector/blob/dev/ext/data/data.json

the Corbett Report, Activist Post, 21st Century Wire, Project Veritas, Ron Paul Institute, The Free Thought Project and hundreds more ... basically every website that engages in real investigative journalism and commentary

good luck with your BS "BS Detector"

    Dont fall for this, the detector is very Orwellian. Use your brain instead of letting some plugin do it for you

    Thank you for this Add-On ! We need this more than ever and I say this with no bias whatsoever. I have investigated Flagged Sites and have found that it is indeed accurate. These Developers have taken on a MAMMOTH undertaking and I strongly urge them to continue in earnest. Congratulations and Kudos to them, but I must also WARN them to NEVER let this effort 'take on a Life of it's own'. IT WILL HAPPEN ... IT ALWAYS DOES. With that said, I recommend that everyone use the Add-On because no matter how 'smart' you are, it's incredibly easy to get mired in B.S. - Article_86

    This app have potential... I experienced a right political inclination from the developers, but i may be wrong. Anyway, if you guys want some help adapting for Brazilian (portuguese) users, contact me FB.com/CoringaProducoes

    This plugin does a great job.

    If you want to add a B.S site, go to http://www.opensources.co/ to do so.

    Yes CNN is accurate 99.999% of the time, why are people brainwashed?

    This Add on has extreme bias, It marks CNN as accurate!? But sites that prove the factual errors of CNN and like sites as "Extreme Bias". Granted netiher side will be 100% accurate in all sources all the time, but it doesn't even seem to make an effort.

    I think it's a bit easy on Fox News, but accurately identifies other sites. The explicit Facebook and Twitter support are especially nice. Accurately rates RT.com as a "state news source." Wish I could add my own sources.

    In future would be great if it could add bot detection.

    Know the feeling reading a story going "is this a joke?", only to find out by the end, that it actually was joke? I find it an extremely annoying waste of my time and B.S. Detector eliminates that issue almost completely.

    Alerts about "not reliable" sources I already identified. Seems to work then.

    You can still visit the page.

    Perfect for a democratic people like me.

    Identifies blogs as conspiracy sites even when they just parrot other sites and add no personal content.

    If you are unable to use your brain and your common sense, let someone else doing it for you

    1. Does not have the ability to add sources yourself, instead you have to collab with opensources

    2. Tons of unreliable sites such as foxnews and cnn which have inaccurate reports, propaganda posts etc are deemed as reliable sources.

    2 stars because the add-on is at least functional.

    Very good in this turbulent time at helping to identify known (open source vetted) news fraud and click bait sites.
